In April 2017, Tobu Zoo placed 60 cutouts of characters from the popular anime series Kemono Friends around the grounds to attract visitors.[7] The cutout placed in Grape-kun's enclosure, Hululu, was an anthropomorphic Humboldt penguin.[8] Grape-kun would stare at the cutout for hours, going as far as trying to reach the cutout, which was placed on a tall rock.[7] Zookeepers had to separate Grape-kun from the cutout for part of the day so he would eat.[7][8]

If you were sedated, kidnapped, and put in a zoo, you might find it hard to get it up, too.

this problem was so bad, there's actually a real danger of inbreeding in captive pandas because a huge proportion of those alive today today are descended from the one male Chad Panda that was an exhibitionist and didn't give a crap about loving in front of a human audience. Some biologists are concerned that the captive breeding program has been inadvertently "domesticating" them, in the sense that they are evolving to better survive in captivity.

You want to look at deer for an example of that. Left to their own devices they'd happily genocide themselves through famine, humans have to kill a bunch of them every year to keep their numbers in check after we pushed out the apex predators that used to do that.

The declining popularity of hunting is causing problems too. When I was a kid, <18 could shoot a doe or buck with the regular license and adults could enter a lottery for a doe permit. Plus there was a lottery for a second tag.

This is complicated and I'm probably remembering wrong but this season my brother got 2 doe and 1 buck tag, plus another tag for bow season, and could have applied for the lottery for an in town bow tag. The maximum bag limit is 5 now, unless you take them in an "unlimited antlerless deer area."

tldr 8 dead, 60+ injured and ~$70m of property damage resulted from janky 24vdc power supplies.

this is why you always spec 4-20mA analog signals instead of 0-10v

NTSB Report Page 3 posted:

During the hours leading up to the accident, three PG&E employees and one contractor
were working on an electrical distribution system as part of the replacement of the
uninterruptible power supply (UPS8) at the Milpitas Terminal, where Line 132 originates. (See figure 4.) The electric work had been approved by a PG&E work clearance form, which was submitted to PG&E’s gas control center (referred to in this report as the SCADA Center)

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, did the explosion seriously originate from work to replace a UPS in the SCADA infrastructure? I hope I am, because if so Jeeeesus Christ.

Edit: After reading about 6 more pages, my inner monologue is now the USCSB narrator voice. What an absolute shitshow.

Along with his mate, Midori, he was transferred to Tobu Zoo in 2007.[3][4] After a decade-long relationship, Midori later left him for a younger penguin, which led Grape-kun to become isolated from the other penguins.[5][3][6]

luv 2 get custom titles from a forum that goes into revolt when its told to stop using a bad word.
So, what you’re saying is that Grape-Kun probably has a forums account and might even be posting in this thread?

I'm ignorant to the setup of these, is it normal to have a loving harness tether bearing your weight to be a loop with velcro instead of a stitched loop? It looks like there's a proper carabiner it's secured to, so what is the reason for this monstrosity I'm looking at?
